TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the field of image processing, and specifically, to a method and an apparatus for training a convolutional neural network for processing a vehicle accident image, and a vehicle accident image processing method and apparatus.

BACKGROUND

As cars gradually become commonly used travel tools, the vehicle insurance market also rapidly develops, and vehicle insurance services are growing fast too. It is a very important step to fast and accurately assess a vehicle accident loss in the vehicle insurance service. For assessing the vehicle accident loss, a group of photos taken at a vehicle accident scene are needed. The group of photos can be taken by the insurance inspector at the scene, or can be independently taken by the insured and sent to the insurance inspector. In some cases, photos that are taken at a scene other than the vehicle accident scene can be mixed in the vehicle accident photos on purpose, and the photos can be of a similar vehicle but not the exact vehicle, are taken at a different place, or are taken at a later time. Some photographing devices store metadata information such as the photographing time, the photographing device, and the photographing location in photos, and the metadata information can be used to determine whether the photos are taken at the same vehicle accident scene. However, not all photos include metadata such as the time and the location, and such metadata is very easy to modify. In addition, Manual photo examination is labor-consuming, and examination quality cannot be ensured. Therefore, a more effective vehicle accident photo processing solution is needed.

DESCRIPTION OF IMPLEMENTATIONS

The implementations of the present specification are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a system 100, according to an implementation of the present specification. The system 100 includes a training part 101 and a processing part 102. The training part 101 includes a training module 11. The training module 11 can use a Siamese network, a Triplet network, etc. The training module 11 includes a convolutional neural network, and is configured to train the convolutional neural network. The convolutional neural network includes a convolutional layer, an activation layer, a normalization layer, a pooling layer, etc., and can use a commonly used network structure such as ResNet or Inception. The convolutional neural network is trained by inputting a large number of vehicle accident images (corresponding to a positive sample pair and a negative sample pair in the Siamese network and corresponding to a triplet sample in the Triplet network) to the training module 11, to train and obtain a convolutional neural network that can be used for processing the vehicle accident images.

In this implementation of the present specification, an image can be a generic term of various graphics and images, usually an image with a visual effect, and can usually include a picture on a piece of paper, a picture on a negative or a photo, a picture on a television, a picture on a projector or a computer screen, etc. The vehicle accident image in this implementation can include computer image data that is stored on a readable storage medium after being obtained by using a camera or photographing device, and can include various types of computer images such as a vector diagram, a bitmap, and a static or dynamic image.

The processing part 102 includes a feature acquisition module 12 and a decision module 13. The feature acquisition module 12 includes the convolutional neural network obtained through training by the training module 11. A group of vehicle accident images are input to the feature acquisition module 12. Then the feature acquisition module 12 can separately obtain a plurality of feature vectors corresponding to the group of vehicle accident images from the group of vehicle accident images, and send the plurality of feature vectors to the decision module 13. The decision module 13 calculates the plurality of feature vectors based on a decision algorithm of the decision module 13 to obtain a decision result, to determine whether the group of vehicle accident images are abnormal.

A method according to an implementation of the present specification is described below in detail with reference to an example.

FIG. 2 illustrates a method for training convolutional neural network M, according to an implementation of the present specification. Convolutional neural network M is used for processing a vehicle accident image. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes the following steps: Step S21: Obtain at least one positive sample pair, where each positive sample pair includes a first image and a second image, and the first image and the second image correspond to the same vehicle accident scene. Step S22: Train the convolutional neural network by using the at least one positive sample pair, to decrease the sum of at least one first distance respectively corresponding to the positive sample pair, where the first distance is a distance between a feature vector of the first image that is obtained by using the convolutional neural network and a feature vector of the second image that is obtained by using the convolutional neural network.

First, in step S21, the at least one positive sample pair is obtained. Each positive sample pair includes the first image and the second image, and the first image and the second image correspond to the same vehicle accident scene. In an implementation, the training module 11 in FIG. 1 trains convolutional neural network M by using a Siamese network. A pair of images, namely, a positive sample pair or a negative sample pair, need to be input in the Siamese network. Any two images corresponding to the same real vehicle accident scene can form positive sample pair <I, I⁺>. Two images respectively corresponding to two different scenes (for example, different vehicles, different locations, or different times) can form negative sample pair <I, I⁻>.

A positive sample pair can be obtained by obtaining any two images, namely, the first image and the second image, corresponding to one real vehicle accident scene. A group of vehicle accident photos corresponding to the real vehicle accident scene can be taken by the insurance inspector at the vehicle accident scene. Alternatively, a group of vehicle accident photos corresponding to the real vehicle accident scene can be independently taken and uploaded by the insured. Alternatively, a plurality of groups of photos of the real vehicle accident scene can be obtained from a third party. Manual verification can be performed on these photos of the vehicle accident scene, to ensure that these groups of photos correspond to the same vehicle accident scene.

In step S22, the convolutional neural network is trained by using the at least one positive sample pair, to decrease the sum of the at least one first distance respectively corresponding to the positive sample pair. The first distance is the distance between the feature vector of the first image that is obtained by using the convolutional neural network and the feature vector of the second image that is obtained by using the convolutional neural network.

The convolutional neural network is a feed-forward neural network. An artificial neuron of the network can respond to some surrounding units within the coverage, and plays a prominent role in processing a large-scale image. The convolutional neural network includes a convolutional layer, a pooling layer, etc., and can use a commonly used network structure such as ResNet or Inception. When image I is input to convolutional neural network M, convolutional neural network M outputs feature vector M(I) of the image. The feature vector M(I) corresponds to a depth feature of image I.

FIG. 3 schematically illustrates a process of training the convolutional neural network by using the positive sample pair. First, by inputting positive sample pair <I, I⁺> to convolutional neural network M, feature vector M(I) corresponding to I and feature vector M(I⁺) corresponding to I⁺ that include an existing parameter of M are obtained. Then, distance function D(M(I), M(I⁺)) is defined. For example, distance D(M(I), M(I⁺)) is a Euclidean distance between feature vector M(I) and feature vector M(I⁺). In an implementation, distance D can alternatively be a Minkowski distance, a Manhattan distance, etc. The convolutional neural network is trained for decreasing D(M(I), M(I⁺)) (namely, the previously described first distance).

In this implementation, the convolutional neural network is trained by using a stochastic gradient descent (SGD) method. However, in this implementation of the present specification, the convolutional neural network is not limited to being trained by using the SGD method. For example, the convolutional neural network can be trained by using an optimization algorithm known in the existing technology such as a batch gradient descent (BGD) method, a mini-batch gradient descent (MBGD) method, an adaptive moment estimation (Adam) method, or an RMSProp method. As shown in FIG. 3, after D(M(I), M(I⁺)) is obtained, a derivative of each parameter of D(M(I), M(I⁺)) is taken, and each parameter of D(M(I), M(I⁺)) is moved by a tiny step in a negative direction of the derivative of each parameter. As such, a value of D(M(I), M(I⁺)) is decreased.

In an implementation, N (for example, 60) positive sample pairs are simultaneously input to convolutional neural network M to train network M. For example, M is trained by using the SGD method, to decrease a value of D₁+D₂+ . . . , +D_(N), where D_(i)=D(M(I_(i)), M(I_(i) ⁺)), and i ranges from 1 to N.

FIG. 4 illustrates a method for training a convolutional neural network, according to an implementation of the present specification. The convolutional neural network is used for processing a vehicle accident image. The method includes the following steps: Step S41: Obtain at least one negative sample pair, where each negative sample pair includes a third image and a fourth image, and the third image and the fourth image correspond to different vehicle accident scenes. Step S42: Train the convolutional neural network by using the at least one negative sample pair, to increase the sum of at least one second distance respectively corresponding to the negative sample pair, where the second distance is a distance between a feature vector of the third image that is obtained by using the convolutional neural network and a feature vector of the fourth image that is obtained by using the convolutional neural network.

First, in step S41, the at least one negative sample pair is obtained. Each negative sample pair includes the third image and the fourth image, and the third image and the fourth image correspond to the different vehicle accident scenes.

As previously described, two images respectively corresponding to two different scenes (for example, different vehicles, different locations, or different times) can form negative sample pair <I, I>. A plurality of negative sample pairs can be obtained by performing manual matching on vehicle accident photos of different scenes. To improve accuracy of training convolutional neural network M, a photo relatively similar to an existing vehicle accident photo is manually taken at another scene, and is matched with the existing vehicle accident photo to form a negative sample pair. For example, for a specific vehicle accident photo, a corresponding matching photo of a vehicle with the same model can be taken at a different time and at the same location to form a negative sample pair together with the specific photo. In addition to manually obtaining a negative sample pair, a negative sample pair can be generated by using generative adversarial networks (GANs). In an implementation, a plurality of negative sample pairs can be directly obtained from a third party.

In step S42, the convolutional neural network is trained by using the at least one negative sample pair, to increase the sum of the at least one second distance respectively corresponding to the negative sample pair, where the second distance is the distance between the feature vector of the third image that is obtained by using the convolutional neural network and the feature vector of the fourth image that is obtained by using the convolutional neural network.

FIG. 5 schematically illustrates a process of training the convolutional neural network by using the negative sample pair. The process is basically the same as the process shown in FIG. 3. By inputting negative sample pair <I, I⁻> to convolutional neural network M, feature vector M(I) corresponding to I and feature vector M(F) corresponding to I⁻ that include an existing parameter of M are obtained. However, in FIG. 4, a value of −D(M(I), M(I⁻)) is decreased by using the SGD method. In other words, a value of D(M(I), M(I⁻)) is increased, that is, a distance between the feature vectors corresponding to two images in the negative sample pair is increased. A training process that uses the SGD method in FIG. 5 is the same as that in FIG. 3. Details are omitted here for simplicity.

In an implementation, N (for example, 60) negative sample pairs are simultaneously input to convolutional neural network M to train network M. For example, M is trained by using the SGD method, to decrease a value of −(D₁ ⁻+D₂ ⁻+ . . . , +D_(N) ⁻), where D_(i) ⁻=D(M(I_(i)), M(I_(i) ⁻)), and i ranges from 1 to N.

In an implementation, convolutional neural network M is repeatedly trained by using a plurality of positive sample pairs and a plurality of negative sample pairs with reference to the methods shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5, to obtain convolutional neural network M with relatively high accuracy. For example, there can be tens of thousands of positive sample pairs and negative sample pairs.

In an implementation, network M is repeatedly trained by using a plurality of batches of positive sample pairs (for example, each batch of data includes 60 positive sample pairs). M is trained by simultaneously inputting each batch of positive sample pairs (for example, 60 pairs). In an implementation, network M is repeatedly trained by using a plurality of batches of negative sample pairs (for example, each batch of data includes 60 negative sample pairs). M is trained by simultaneously inputting each batch of negative sample pairs (for example, 60 pairs). As such, network M with relatively high accuracy is obtained. For example, there can be thousands of batches of pairs used for the training.

FIG. 6 illustrates a method for training a convolutional neural network, according to an implementation of the present specification. The convolutional neural network is used for processing a vehicle accident image. As shown in FIG. 6, in step S61, at least one positive sample pair and at least one negative sample pair are obtained. In other words, at least one positive sample pair <I, I⁺> and at least one negative sample pair <I, I⁻> are obtained. Each positive sample pair includes a first image and a second image, and the first image and the second image correspond to the same vehicle accident scene. Each negative sample pair includes a third image and a fourth image, and the third image and the fourth image correspond to different vehicle accident scenes.

In step S62, the convolutional neural network is trained by using the at least one positive sample pair and the at least one negative sample pair, to decrease a value obtained by subtracting the sum of a plurality of second distances corresponding to the negative sample pair from the sum of a plurality of first distances corresponding to the positive sample pair. The first distance is a distance between a feature vector of the first image that is obtained by using the convolutional neural network and a feature vector of the second image that is obtained by using the convolutional neural network. The second distance is a distance between a feature vector of the third image that is obtained by using the convolutional neural network and a feature vector of the fourth image that is obtained by using the convolutional neural network. In other words, the convolutional neural network is trained by using the at least one positive sample pair and the at least one negative sample pair, to decrease a value of (D₁+D₂+ . . . , +D_(N))−(D₁ ⁻+D₂ ⁻+ . . . , +D_(M) ⁻), where D_(i)=D(M(I_(i)), M(I_(i) ⁺)), D_(j) ⁻=D(M(I_(j)), M(I_(j) ⁻)), i ranges from 1 to N, j ranges from 1 to M, N≥1, and M≥1.

In an implementation, there are a plurality of batches of sample pairs (each batch of sample pairs includes a positive sample pair and a negative sample pair), and network M is repeatedly trained by simultaneously inputting at least one positive sample pair and at least one negative sample pair, to obtain network M with relatively high accuracy. For example, there can be thousands of batches of pairs used for the training, and each batch of sample pairs can include tens of sample pairs.

In an implementation, the second image and the third image can be the same. In an implementation, the training module 11 in FIG. 1 trains convolutional neural network M by using a Triplet network. Triplet sample <I, I⁺, I⁻> needs to be input in the Triplet network. Triplet sample <I, I⁺, I⁻> includes two images I and I⁺ corresponding to the same vehicle accident scene and image I⁻ corresponding to another vehicle accident scene different from the vehicle accident scene. The triplet sample can be used as an exception of the at least one positive sample pair and the at least one negative sample pair. In other words, I⁺ and I in the triplet sample respectively correspond to the first image and the second image, and I and I⁻ respectively correspond to the third image and the fourth image. FIG. 7 schematically illustrates a process of training a convolutional neural network by using a triplet sample. First, by inputting triplet sample <I, I⁺, I⁻> to convolutional neural network M, feature vector M(I) corresponding to I, feature vector M(I⁺) corresponding to I⁺, and feature vector M(I⁻) corresponding to I⁻ that include an existing parameter of M are obtained. Then, similar to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, convolutional neural network M is trained by using, for example, the SGD method, to decrease the value of D(M(I), M(I⁺))−D(M=(I), M(I⁻)).

In an implementation, N (for example, 60) triplet samples are simultaneously input to convolutional neural network M to train the network. For example, M is trained by using the SGD method, to decrease a value of (D₁+D₂+ . . . , +D_(N))−(D₁ ⁻+D₂ ⁻+ . . . , +D_(N) ⁻), where D_(i)=D(M(I_(i)), M(I_(i) ⁺)), D_(i) ⁻=D(M(I_(i)), M(I_(i) ⁻)), and i ranges from 1 to N.

In an implementation, as shown in FIG. 7, convolutional neural network M is repeatedly trained by using a plurality of triplet samples to obtain convolutional neural network M with relatively high accuracy. For example, there can be tens of thousands of triplet samples.

In an implementation, there are a plurality of batches of triplet samples (for example, each batch of data includes 60 triplet samples), and network M is repeatedly trained by simultaneously inputting a batch of triplet samples (for example, 60 samples), to obtain network M with relatively high accuracy. For example, there can be thousands of batches of samples used for the training.

In an implementation, the training module 11 in FIG. 1 includes two training networks: a Siamese network and a Triplet network, to jointly train convolutional neural network M by using a plurality of positive sample pairs, negative sample pairs, and triplet samples, thereby improving accuracy of M.

Convolutional neural network M is trained by using the method according to the implementations of the present specification, so that feature vectors corresponding to input vehicle accident images can be accurately calculated from the vehicle accident images in obtained network M. As such, accuracy and a recall rate of subsequently processing the vehicle accident images are improved.

FIG. 8 illustrates a vehicle accident image processing method, according to an implementation of the present specification. The method includes the following steps: Step S81: Obtain N vehicle accident images, where N is a natural number greater than or equal to 2. Step S82: Obtain N feature vectors respectively corresponding to the vehicle accident images by inputting the vehicle accident images to a convolutional neural network obtained by using the previous training method. Step S83: Calculate a distance between any two of the feature vectors. Step S84: Determine that two vehicle accident images corresponding to the distance are abnormal when the distance is greater than a first predetermined threshold.

First, in step S81, the N vehicle accident images are obtained, where N is a natural number greater than or equal to 2. In an implementation, the N vehicle accident images can be obtained by an insurance inspector at a vehicle accident scene. Alternatively, in an implementation, the N vehicle accident images are independently obtained and uploaded by the insured. Generally, N vehicle accident images can mean several vehicle accident images, can mean tens of vehicle accident images, or can be hundreds of vehicle accident images in some complex vehicle accidents. The N vehicle accident images can be respectively represented as I₁, I₂, . . . , and I_(N).

Then, in step S82, the N feature vectors respectively corresponding to the vehicle accident images are obtained by inputting the vehicle accident images to the convolutional neural network obtained by using the training method. In other words, N corresponding feature vectors M₁(I₁), M₂(I₂), . . . , and M_(N)(I_(N)) are obtained by inputting I₁, I₂, . . . , and I_(N) to trained convolutional neural network M.

Further, in step S83, the distance between any two of the feature vectors is calculated. In other words, distance D_(k)(M_(i)(I_(i)), M_(j)(I_(j))) between any two of the N feature vectors M₁(I₁), M₂(I₂), . . . , and M_(N)(I_(N)) can be calculated, where i≠j. Apparently, N(N−1)/2 distances {D₁, D₂, . . . , D_(N(N-1)/2)} can be calculated in total, that is, a value of k ranges from 1 to N(N−1)/2.

In step S84, it is determined that the two vehicle accident images corresponding to the distance are abnormal when the distance is greater than the first predetermined threshold. In an implementation, first predetermined threshold T can be determined based on the positive sample pairs and the negative sample pairs used to train convolutional neural network M, so that there is a maximum probability that D(M(I), M(I⁺))<T and D(M(I), M(I⁻))>T for all positive sample pairs and negative sample pairs. For example, in an ideal condition, D(M(I), M(I⁺)) is less than D(M(I), M(I⁻)), and in this case, T can be any value from D(M(I), M(I⁺)) to D(M(I), M(I⁻)). However, generally, not distances for all positive sample pairs are less than distances for all negative sample pairs. For example, there can be an image for a different vehicle accident scene that fails to be manually screened out in a positive sample pair; or although two images in a positive sample pair come from the same vehicle accident scene, a distance between feature vectors respectively corresponding to the two images is relatively large because of photographing angles of the two images. However, there is a relatively high probability that a distance for a positive sample pair is less than a distance for each negative sample pair, and there is a relatively high probability that a distance for a negative sample pair is greater than a distance for each positive sample pair. For example, distances for 95% of positive sample pairs fall within an interval less than α (α is a positive number), and distances for 95% of negative sample pairs fall within an interval greater than b, where α<b. In this case, T can be a value between α and b, so that there is the maximum probability that D(M(I), M(I⁺))<T and D(M(I), M(I⁻))> T for all the positive sample pairs and all the negative sample pairs. Therefore, there is relatively high accuracy of determining whether the vehicle accident images are abnormal and a relatively high recall rate by selecting first predetermined threshold T according to the previous description. In an implementation, a PR curve or an ROC curve can be drawn for all the positive sample pairs and all the negative sample pairs, and threshold T that enables the highest accuracy and recall rate is obtained from the curve.

When distance D_(k)(M_(i)(I_(i)), M_(j)(I_(j))) is greater than threshold T, there is a relatively high probability that sample pair (I_(i), I_(j)) is a negative sample pair. In other words, I_(i) and I_(j) can be images corresponding to different vehicle accident scenes, that is, either I_(i) or I_(j) is abnormal, and either or both of the two images can be a suspicious image mixed in the vehicle accident images.

In an implementation, the number of D_(k) greater than threshold T in {D₁, D₂, . . . , D_(N(N-1)/2)} is accumulated to obtain a first probability P1=B/N. The first probability P1 can indicate a probability that a group of vehicle accident images are suspicious. Larger P1 indicates a higher probability of suspicion. In this case, it can be considered that the group of vehicle accident images are generally abnormal. A second predetermined threshold can be set, and it is determined that the N vehicle accident images are generally abnormal when the first probability P1 is greater than the second predetermined threshold. For example, the second predetermined threshold is set to 1, and when P1>1, it can be determined that the group of vehicle accident images are generally abnormal. Therefore, the insured needs to re-provide a group of vehicle accident images, or the group of vehicle accident images need to be manually examined, or images determined as suspicious images in the group of images need to be manually examined.

In an implementation, after it is determined that the two vehicle accident images corresponding to the distance are abnormal, the number M of abnormal vehicle accident images in the N vehicle accident images is accumulated, and a second probability P2=M/N is calculated. The second probability P2 can indicate a probability that a group of vehicle accident images are suspicious. Larger P2 indicates a higher probability of suspicion, and it can be considered that the group of vehicle accident images are generally abnormal. A third predetermined threshold can be set, and it is determined that the N vehicle accident images are generally abnormal when the second probability P2 is greater than the third predetermined threshold. For example, the third predetermined threshold is set to 0.1, and when P2>0.1, it can be determined that the group of vehicle accident images are generally abnormal. Therefore, the insured needs to re-provide a group of vehicle accident images, or the group of vehicle accident images need to be manually examined, or images determined as suspicious images in the group of images need to be manually examined.

In some implementations, various steps of method 1100 can be run in parallel, in combination, in loops, or in any order.

At 1102, N vehicle accident images are obtained, where N is a natural number greater than or equal to 2. From 1102, method 1100 proceeds to 1104.

At 1104, N feature vectors are obtained by inputting the vehicle accident images into a trained convolutional neural network, where the N feature vectors respectively correspond to the vehicle accident images. From 1104, method 1100 proceeds to 1106.

At 1106, a distance is calculated between any two feature vectors of the N feature vectors. In some implementations, the distance is a Euclidean distance. From 1106, method 1100 proceeds to 1108.

At 1108, a determination is made that two vehicle accident images of the N vehicle accident images corresponding to the distance are abnormal when the distance is greater than a first predetermined threshold. After 1108, method 1100 can stop.

In some implementations, method 1100 further comprises: 1) determining a number B of distances greater than the first predetermined threshold after determining that the two vehicle accident images corresponding to the distance are abnormal; 2) calculating a first probability based on B and N; and 3) determining that the N vehicle accident images are generally abnormal when the first probability is greater than a second predetermined threshold.

In some implementations, method 1100 further comprises: 1) determining a number M of abnormal vehicle accident images in the N vehicle accident images after determining that the two vehicle accident images corresponding to the distance are abnormal; 2) calculating a second probability P2 based on M and N; and 3) determining that the N vehicle accident images are generally abnormal when the second probability is greater than a third predetermined threshold.

In some implementations, the trained convolutional neural network is trained using at least one positive sample pair, where the training comprises: 1) obtaining at least one positive sample pair, wherein each positive sample pair comprises a first image and a second image, and the first image and the second image correspond to the same vehicle accident scene and 2) training the convolutional neural network by using the at least one positive sample pair, to decrease the sum of at least one first distance respectively corresponding to the positive sample pair, wherein the first distance is a distance between a feature vector of the first image that is obtained by using the convolutional neural network and a feature vector of the second image that is obtained by using the convolutional neural network.

In some implementations, the trained convolutional neural network is trained by at least one negative sample pair, where the training comprises: 1) obtaining at least one negative sample pair, wherein each negative sample pair comprises a third image and a fourth image, and the third image and the fourth image correspond to different vehicle accident scenes and 2) training the convolutional neural network by using the at least one negative sample pair, to increase the sum of at least one second distance respectively corresponding to the negative sample pair, wherein the second distance is a distance between a feature vector of the third image that is obtained by using the convolutional neural network and a feature vector of the fourth image that is obtained by using the convolutional neural network.

The described subject matter provides one or more technical features/technical effects over existing technology. For example, the describe methodology provides functionality to determine quickly and with a high-degree of accuracy whether an object represented in a disparate group of images (for example, of an accident vehicle) is the same object, regardless of the setting when the images were recorded. This is important because not all photographic equipment records necessary metadata (such as the time, device, and location associated with a photograph) to distinguish objects represented in images or metadata is easy to modify, rendering the metadata useless. The described methodology and use of a convolutional neural network can be used to ensure data quality, legitimacy, and accuracy (that is, particular images are not abnormal) to help reduce instances of fraud based on images.
